Controlling Servo Motor using a PC

[shanz]

well im kinda new here...im doing a final year project regarding controlling the servo motor using PC.The objective is to control the servo motor speed and position and its able to record the speed and the position movement.the control also to be tested if there is a load applied.So i need a opion on hw to enhance or add more features to this project...hopefull anyone out there can help me with this...

tq..
regardz,
shanz...

You can make a small robot also.

i dun understand wat u mean by robot..Im getting the feedback frm the servo motor..besides speed ..position..wat else that can be done...

Hi shanz,

You can set into your program of your servo motor some predetermine coordinates(positions) which they will be activated by buttons of ur software.

Hi shanz,
You can develop a Software application with wich you can monitors and command your motors. I recommend to you Delphy of Labview.
Hope it help.

thx master..il try it..im thinkin of the monitoring part..using webcam...but i just wondering what wud b special bout it...

 

[shanz]

ne1 can help me in getting links or diagrams regarding thiz projecty.it wud b very helpfull....

Added after 12 minutes:

wat sensor shud be used to sense the rotation and the speed of the servo motor

 

[shanz]

ne1 can help me using matlab PID versus FUZZY Controll...de programing part

 

[kender]

wat sensor shud be used to sense the rotation and the speed of the servo motor

Shaft encoder - this is the most common sensor for position and velocity of servo motors. They can be a bit expensine, though.

juz wanted to knw wer thiz project is being applied and used..and wat kinda controller is being used instead of PID to controll the motor coz i need to compare...

hi shanz,

just use printer cable to interface your motor..find the addresses and data pins..use it in your program.

shanz,

can u pls upload your project....

like block diagram, functioanlty..

i am just curious to learn...
that how are you controlling the thru PC...


TIA,
TOM
